[Letter] 18[50?] April 18, Washington [to] Dr. Wainwright / William Prescott.
1850-04-18
The recto of the letter bears a raised seal for "Delarus & Co London." Prescott asks, "When did I ever forget a friend-- especially when it was to do myself a good turn" and states that he will be with Wainwright on Monday. He says that he has much to share when they meet in the great "Yorker metropolis" where he will stay until Wednesday. Prescott was a historian who specialized in Spain and Latin America; he wrote about the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella as well as an account of the conquest of Peru and Mexico.
